than half the megatonnage in the super-
power arsenals.
We are told that many young people
share a feeling of hopelessness about the
future and don't believe they can have an
influence on national and global issues. Dr.
John Mack, a Harvard University psychia-
trist, concluded on the basis of an extensive
study that young people today "are deeply
disturbed by the threat of nuclear war, have
doubts about the future and their own sur-
vival." He concludes, "We may be raising a
generation without hope."
We are here today to tell you that we
reject this epithet. Not only do we have a
vision of hope, but a commitment to share
this vision with others, and a determination
to make this vision a reality.
As we undertake our small part in the
quest for enduring peace, we recognize that
war has become obsolete as a means of de-
ciding national differences. People every-
where In the world are beginning to know it,
but governments don't know it yet. While
we respect the sovereign equality of all
countries and support their efforts to pro-
mote peace, it is also. clear that government
representatives are often inhibited by pro-
vincial mandates and intolerant national
bias. Watching the U.N. proceedings earlier
this fall, I thought of how fluently and ar-
dently the representatives of each nation
spoke up for their sides. But nobody spoke
up for everybody, for that faceless, stateless
body we are all part of called "humanity." If
nations are not to wage war against fellow
nations, they must come to better under-
stand one another. We believe it is essential
to promote informal friendly relations be-
tween nations and those young individuals
who may one day be destined to lead na-
tions.
While the young suffer a disproportionate
share of the evil burden of war, only too
rarely do we share in any role In the con-
duct or prevention of war. Yet we believe
firmly in the energy, promise, and idealism
of youth, and that-at least in part-the
future will be what we endeavor to make of
it. Acknowledging by our very name-the
Millennium Society-that we are custodians
of the Earth for but a fleeting moment in
the vast reaches of Time, we believe that
preventing war and its threat to the survival
of humankind is the greatest challenge
facing our generation today.
According, our founders, through incor-
porators assembled here today at the City
of Chicago. have agreed to the present Arti-
cles of Incorporation, and do hereby estab-
lish an international charitable organisation
dedicated to peace to be known as the Mil-
lennium Society.
By bringing together young women and
men of excellence from throughout the
world-without distinction as to race, sex,
language, or religion-we hope to help
foster international fellowship and free and
open discourse between all peoples on an
unofficial and non-governmental basis.
In the war-tom and divided world of
today, it's ironic to note that some 200 mil-
lion years ago the entire world was united in
the single great continent called Pangaea.
Long before humankind evolved, Pangaea
began to break apart. By 150 million years
B.C.E., the land had divided into two great
continents, Laurasia, comprised of what is
now North America, Europe, and northern
Asia, and Gondwanaland. consisting of
South America, Africa, Austrailia, and the
Indian sub-contine=nt.
The ancient division between Laurasia
and Gondwanaland is evident today not so
much in the separated land masses as in the
tremendous economic and social disparity
between the Northern and Southern hemi-
spheres. We have seen that many of the
people of the world live today much as their And so let us lend our voices to the words

Millennium Scholarships. The Corporation
will sponsor select Millennium Scholars-
versatile and exceptional young women and
men from all regions and pursuits showing
great promise for leadership and with a
demonstrated commitment to peace-to par-
ticipate in a worldwide program of universi-
ty-level educational exchange.
THE WORLD MILLENNIUM CHARITY BALL
The Society will also sponsor educational
conferences, charitable fundraisers and
other activities. You have already heard of
our plans for an international gathering of
diverse young leaders from all the conti-
nents of the world on New Year's Eve, 1999
C.E. We will gather at the Great Pyramid of
Cheops at Giza, Egypt, to hail the dawn of
the Third Millennium with a united demon-
stration for peace and celebration of the
brotherhood of humankind.
By way of background, the idea that grew
to become the Millennium Society began
with a group of graduating Yale seniors in
the spring of 1979. It was at Mory's, the tra-
ditional, 134 year old New Haven drinking
club, that we made a pact to take up the
pledge of friendship from O. Henry's classic
short story, "After Twenty Years," and ar-
range a rendezvous in 20 years time. When
we realised that meant the landmark year
of 1999, it was clear a larger gesture was de-
manded.
The idea for a seminal Millennium gather-
ing quickly outgrew the original group of
college friends, and today the Society is led
by an international Board of Directors com-
prised of select young leaders from Africa,
Asia, Australia, Europe, and the Americas,
Earlier this year the Millennium Society
was incorporated as a nonprofit corporation
with representatives in some 31 nations.
In 1980 we began the search for the quint-
essentllal location to hold the epochal event.
After conafdertng Stonehenge, the mysteri-
ous circle of stones in England, and Machu
Picchu, the lost city of the Incas In the
Andes, the Society declared a myanimous
choice: The Great Pyramid of Cheops at
Giza, Egypt.
Ceasar stood there, so did Napoleon. It is
the sole survivor of what the Roman knew
as "De Septum Orbis Spectaculis"-the
Seven Wonders of the World Standing in
the desert at the crossroads of the three
great continents of the Old World, it Is the
most timeless location on Earth, a symbol of
civilized man's earliest dreams.
We have also arranged with the Cunard
Line to charter the renowned ocean liner
RMS Queen Elizabeth 2 beginning Decem-
ber 21, 1999. Some 1,750 young world lead-
ers will embark from New York City aboard
the QE9 for a "floating United Nations"-a.
conference on international peace-during
the ten day voyage to Alexandria, Egypt.
In sixteen years you will find us with our
hair a bit grayer, perhaps a bit less spring in
our walk. Some of us here today will no
doubt be missing from that gathering. But
you will not find us with any Tess hope or
idealism, or confidence in the ultimate tri-
umph of humankind. For there are thou-
sands of young minds in all the lands of the
world who yearn for the spirit of coopera-
tion and peace, and who are willing to work
for it. These are the young friends we seek.
OF 1983
Mr. SIMPSON. Mr. President, when
this Senator was but an unfamiliar
and awed freshman in these hallowed
halls, I was approached by a Senate
staffer who thrust a prospectus for
construction of a new Federal building
under my snoot and urgently demand-
ed my signature. I wanted to better
understand that curious method of
legislating which would approve new
construction projects by merely
having Senators "sign off" on the pro-
spectus. I requested a meeting of the
Environment and Public Works Com-
mittee to discuss this means of author-
izing construction of multimillion-
dollar Federal buildings. Then chair-
man of the committee, JENNINos RAN-
DOLPH, was swift to grant it. He has
always been most accommodating and
kind to me. I later learned that this
process was known as "11(b)."
Section 11(b) refers to a section of
the Public Buildings Act of 1959 which
authorizes either the Committee on
Public Works of the Senate or the
House of Representatives to, by reso-
lution, instruct the General Services
Administration (GSA) to "study and
report" to Congress on the need for a
Federal building in a designated area.
Further, it states that the GSA shall
make this report to Congress within a
"reasonable" time and that the report
shall contain all other information re-
cuuired to be included in any prospec-
tus of the proposed public buildir
project.
Section 11(b) is a trap and a traves
for the taxpayer-let me provide boa
page, and hymn number.
On February 26, 1962, the GSA sub-
mitted to Congress one of those odious
11(b) reports which had been ordered
up by the House Public Buildings Sub-
committee. They are a tough lot over
there-and the staff plays a nastier
game of hardball than do the mem-
bers. The subcommittee recommended
construction of a Federal office build-
ing in Chicago at an estimated cost of
$92 million. Representative John G.
Pary, from the fifth district of Illinois,
was then chairman of the House Sub-
committe on Buildings and Grounds of
the Committee of Public Works and
Transportation.
Here I then share with you a brief
chronology of the events surrounding
this dazaling and extraordinary
project. The House had first requested
the 11(b) report on the Chicago
project in August 1981. The prospec-
tus alluded to a question of whether
the building was even necessary, and
stated that the project was not on
GSA's list of project priorities over the

next 5 years, suggesting then that
"GSA will reassess the need for the
project before awarding any construc-
tion grants."
On February 18, 1983, the House
committee announced a hearing in
Chicago concerning public building
needs. On Friday, February 26, the
GSA submitted an 11(b) report to
OMB which recommended construc-
tion of the Federal office building in
Chicago at a cost of $92 million. On
that same day, GSA hand delivered
the 11(b) to the Senate and House
committees. On Monday, March 1, the
House committee conducted hearings
in Chicago, chaired by none other
than the redoubtable Representative
Fary, chairman of the Subcommittee
on Buildings and Grounds, right there
in his own district. There was an obvi-
ous rush to hurry this gem along be-
cause the Democratic primary elec-
tions were to be held in Chicago on
March 16. Unfortunately or fortunate-
ly-pick one-Congressman Fary was
defeated-yet, the House continued to
press the Senate Committee on Envi-
ronment and Public Works for their
recommendation on this plum or
turkey-pick one-for Representative
Fary.
No opportunity was ever provided
for OMB or the administration to
comment before the Chicago building
proposal was submitted to Congress.
This is the usual case for 11(b) re-
ports. They are wretched and mindless
excesses of self-serving politicos.
S. 452, the Public Buildings Act of
1983, and its predecessors, S. 533, the
act of 1981 which passed the Senate
by a vote of 93 to 0, and S. 2080, the
Act of 1980 which passed just as over-
whelmingly, all seek to repeal this
11(b) process. But it would appear that
11(b)'s are highly addictive and habit
forming to certain persons-mostly
staffers who are long of tooth and
short of tact-in the other body and so
S. 533, the act of 1981, was dead in the
water even before the conference on
the bill began.
Additionally, I have now recently
learned that the Office of Legal Coun-
sel of the U.S. Department of Justice
has determined to include section
11(b) in its compilation of statutes
that contain legislative veto devices
that are prohibited by the case of INS
against Chadha. Requiring the Admin-
istrator of GSA to make particular in-
vestigations or to begin construction
of any particular building by one com-
mitee of either House of the Congress
is clearly outside the plenary legisla-
tive process. The decision in INS
against Chadha states that such ac-
tions can be accomplished only:
In conformity with the express procedures
of the Constitution's prescription for legis-
lative action: Passage by a majority of both
Houses and presentment to the President.
Perhaps this new ruling will have
some rarified influence over some of
the known offenders in the other
body. Many of my House peers-on
both sides of the aisle-are as fed up
as I am with the current process. It is
a pick pocket approach that galls any
thoughtful legislator.
The Senate has overwhelmingly
passed this measure on two previous
occasions, but we have always been
unable to come to an agreement in
conference. Can one see why? The
11(b)'s are always the primary sticking
point in these conferences.
I urge my colleagues to support pas-
sage of S. 452, the Public Buildings
Act of 1983. It has been 34 years since
the last act. And as to acts, it is time
to clean up this one-and call a halt to
these various plums and blubs of brick
and mortar which are produced in
Congress with a rapidity that surprises
even the toughest and wiliest of politi-
cians.
